Chapter 7: Expectations
"No."
"Togami, come on, everyone has to do this…" Naegi pleaded
"That one is the worst of the lot. I will not taint my retinas with that. Besides, why do we have to read this? Surely anyone else can do this. It is a waste of my time when I could be doing something productive." Togami retorted.
"You know why… because no one else will do it." Naegi admitted.
"Yeah," Asahina agreed, "It's kind of mean of them. They get to go out and do cool stuff like track down the Remnants."
Togami nodded. "My point exactly."
"Why don't we just finish this? I bet we'll get better assignments soon." Naegi said.
"That reminds me… where's Kirigiri?" Asahina asked. "Haven't seen her all day."
"Not quite sure…" Naegi muttered, "Think it has something to do with… what were they called… Killer Killer? Yeah, I think that's it."
"Another serial killer?" Togami tsked. "If we have to read more of these, I might actually partake in murder one of these days."
"Don't say that!" Asahina protested.
Togami just frowned and opened up the file.
*'**"***"**'*
AN: wow it appears we have some baka haters. Oh well all good stories have bitchy boo bakas obvi. Im too sugoi to let that bring me down. Plus all publicity is sugoi publicity. Inspiration. Also, today Mirai is just gonna be my pic because some1 else needs some spotlite rihgt? I'll post everyone elses pjs later tho.
Togami: And not a single damn was given today.
Asahina: You have a point...
I opened the door to see Mirai standing outside of my door. She had on blue pajamas, and held a pillow and blanket. She also had kawaii sheep slippers on. "Uwahhh, you look so kawaii!" I said.
"You too!" She replied.
I looked down at my light pink PJs, adorned with nekos, all wearing mustaches. "Arigato!"
Naegi: How can they be so… nonchalant?
Togami: Because they do not possess two brain cells shared by all… four of them? Five? I care so little, I've forgotten.
Naegi: It's strange though… no matter how many they are, nothing actually changes, like they only exist for themselves.
Togami: I think that's the point.
"By the way, where's the neko ears?" she asked.
"Oh, it's just a headband. I'm not actually part neko, even though it'd be cool, nya~"
Asahina: Honestly, never saw the appeal of that stuff, then again, I'm more of a dog person.
Naegi: Well, at least she didn't use any cat puns…
Then everyone else showed up, each donning a kawaii pair of pajamas. Unmei wore a black t-shirt, with neon pink and green pajama pants. Yume wore a cream and red striped nightgown, with black slippers. Nozomi wore mint green footie PJs with llamas on it.
Togami: Again with the clothing descriptions. No one cares. Additionally, I honestly can't tell the difference between all of these brain dead girls.
Naegi: I thought to be brain dead, you have to have a brain to begin with.
Togami: Oho, there is hope for you yet.
"Alright, let's get this party started!" I grabbed my iPod off of the nightstand and played a bunch of Vocaloid songs. We all sang along and danced for about half an hour.
"Wanna set up beds?" Unmei asked.
"Hai!" we all said in unison except for Unmei.
So we then set up our beds. We had no intention on going to bed right away, though.
Naegi: Are these actual high schoolers?
Asahina: Actually, no, they're supposedly all 12.
Naegi: 12? That's ridiculously stupid!
Togami: That's nothing compared to their talents.
Naegi: Do I want to know?
Asahina & Togami: NO.
A chyme went off. "Ding dong! It is now 10 PM! Nighttime hours have begun! Remember, no wandering around!"
Yume got up and turned off the lights.
We all sat up in bed, and talked for a little while. We found out we all had older siblings, who also had SHSL Titles. I have my onii-chan Nagito, of course.
Naegi: Wait a minute… That sounds familiar…
Togami: It should. She's referring to a member of the 77th class, all of whom are deceased, though they are some rumors that some may have survived. But the one she refers to did not have any siblings.
Asahina: You a 100% sure on that?
Togami: I would not make such a simple mistake.
Then we went to bed.
AN; so there! watashi kibou you enjoyed! Itll be more sugoi next chapter bcuz therell be a murder O-O
Naegi: So that's the first part? From the way Hagakure talked about it, I thought I'd be a lot worse.
Togami: She just said the next chapter will be better because someone will die, we all know who's that referring to.
Naegi: True…
Asahina: It's bad enough living it once. Actually now that I think about it, I slept in Sakura's room that night.
Togami: No need to pepper in useless information.
"Yo Kokoro-chan, wake up!"
Huh...?
I opened my eyes to see Mirai sitting on me, probably in an attempt to wake me up.
"Time for breakfast, asshat!" Unmei said.
Asahina: That's kind of rude.
"That was sooooo uncalled for, Unmei!" Nozomi scolded.
Naegi: I honestly can not tell the difference between any of them.
"Well excuuuuse me for being hungry. And she's holding us all up!"
"Actually, that would be Yume, because it was her idea to wait for Kokoro to wake up." Mirai stated.
"S-sorry! I thought it would be a good idea!" Yume stuttered.
"I could've eaten fore-"
"Just give me my clothes. I'll get dressed, then we'll go down and eat."
Mirai got up, and threw me my clothes.
I walked into the bathroom, and got dressed.
Togami: *yawn*
We then made our way down to breakfast, and it appeared we weren't the last ones in the room. There was no sign of Sayaka Maizono, Makoto Naegi, Byakuya Togami, or Leon Kuwata.
Naegi: That's actually pretty accurate… I think. It was a while ago.
Togami: I'm surprised. You're usually quite good at remembering pointless details.
Leon walked in right after us, agitated about something or other. But then again, when WASN'T Leon agitated?
Asahina: Huh? Leon was a pretty passionate guy, wouldn't call it agitated.
Naegi: They just met, they can't make an assumption like that.
Then came Byakuya.
And Naegi.
"Hey, where's Maizono-san?" He asked.
"Nobody knows. She hasn't shown up yet," Celestia said.
"I'll go up and check on her," said Naegi.
And with that, he was gone.
"So why don't we actually get-"
Togami: At first this was offensive, now it's just dull.
Naegi: Well, that's better, right?
Unmei's sentence was interrupted by a very loud scream.
Togami: It was extremely loud.
Naegi: It wasn't that loud.
Asahina: Yeah, it was really loud. Like, shattering glass loud.
Togami: Some of us thought it was Maizono.
Naegi: H-hey…
Asahina: I-I didn't think so.
Togami: Weren't you the one who yelled, "I think Maizono's in trouble?"
Asahina: Y-yeah.
I ran up to see what was going on, and was accompanied by Asahina and Nozomi.
We walk into Maizono's room, and see no one. So we walk in a little further, and see the bathroom.
Togami: The room was utterly destroyed, I thought they would have mentioned that.
Naegi: It was the first thing I noticed.
The door has been broken down, so we can easily see the scene in the shower.
There lied Maizono's body, amongst a bunch of blood. Naegi kneeled in front, sobbing quite loudly.
Asahina: Naegi fainted, actually.
"Ding dong! A body has been found! Everyone meet back at the gymnasium for more announcements!"
How could this have happened...?
Togami: Probably because you were completely useless and ineffectual, you little unobservant prepubescent brat.
AN: So there's the next chappie! First murder too... OwO Watashi am so glad i could get this finished up! Sorry about the lack of art... haven't had the time... so ill just give you the beta designs for every1! i was originally going to include one of my sdr2 ocs in this fic, so thats why theres one extra person. ily all! arigatou for reading!
Togami: ...Don't care.
Naegi: This wasn't nearly as bad as you said it would be.
Asahina: Yeah, because you don't know the worst part.
Naegi: Their talents, right? What on earth could be that bad?
Togami: I don't understand you. You, the man who defeated Junko Enoshima, could be so utterly naive. It's mind-boggling.
Asahina: At least it's over.
Naegi: True as truth.
Togami: God, that imbecile is rubbing off on you.
Asahina: Better than your snobbiness.
Togami: I am not snobby. I am just fully aware of my superiority over certain groups of people.
Naegi: Let's just get back to work.
